FAVIGNANA
The island of Favignana is famous for its tuna fisheries and is now a popular tourist destination with frequent hydrofoil connections to the mainland.
“Put two ships in the open sea,
without wind or tide, and, at last, they will come together.
Throw two planets into space, and they will fall one on the other.
Place two enemies in the midst of a crowd, and they will inevitably meet;
it is a fatality, a question of time; that is all.”
- Jules Verne

Levanzo (Sicilian: Lèvanzu) is the smallest of the three main Aegadian Islands in the Mediterranean Sea west of Sicily, Italy. It forms a part of the municipality (comune) of Favignana in the Province of Trapani.
The ancient name of the island was Hiera, part of the Greek name Hierà Nèsos (Ιερά Νήσος), which means 'Sacred Island' in Greek. Indeed, its Latin name used by Pliny was also 'Sacra'.[1] The name Marettimo probably comes from the words mar (sea) and timo (thyme) due to the profusion of thyme on the island. However, it may stem from a local pronunciation of the word 'maritimo'.
